The Well Made Here campaign has issued an open letter to federal parliamentary candidates. Noting that there is no Canadian equivalent to the Buy American Act in the U.S., it urges politicians to support domestic producers over foreign-based multinationals.
“We want the candidates of any party to take better account, in their programs and possibly in their actions as elected officials, of the true contribution of manufacturing activity to the socio-economic fibre of a municipality, a region, a country,” the letter reads in part.
